Choose the format that works best for you
With two different options available (Echo 12 and Echo 36), find the curriculum that works for your needs. Echo 12 offers a 12-sesson overview for leaders who want to take their groups through a 12-week Bible survey. With a 36-session overview, Echo 36 offers a much broader and more immersive experience through the biblical narrative.
How it works
Whether the group is following Echo 12 or Echo 36 overview of the biblical narrative, each lesson follows a consistent six-part sequence:
- Rewind to previous sessions using The Story So Far video series
- Prepare to envision the new story with drawing in the Sketch Journal
- Imagine the narrative as the leader reads the Bible story aloud from the Leader Guide
- Capture memorable aspects of the story by using the Sketch Journal
- Remix! Students complete an activity to creatively retell the Bible story
- Connect observations and insights through group sharing
